So I normally don't care that much about food. But I just got introduced to r/ididnthaveeggs which is a repository of insane and ridiculous recipe substitutions from the comments sections of recipes. Even with zero knowledge of cooking, I know swapping carrot for shredded kale in a carrot cake recipe will not turn out well. So cooks and food-eaters of Tildes, what are the...

Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like popes, bethesda and minimalism.digital. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was befuddled. But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the...

An idea, a perception, a feeling, an understanding, a concept, a framework, a belief, a response, a decision, etc. What were you wrong about? What changed your perception? What has been gained/lost from your new understanding? Important: It takes a lot of courage and self-reflection for someone to admit when they're wrong. Please honor that in this topic. I do not want this topic...

I'll go first. I don't like to sleep in the dark, even though it's considered normal. I usually fall asleep with the lights on and either the computer/tv still on as well. This mostly came about because as a night owl, I would often just pass out and incidentally not turn the lights off. Now I've grown so accustomed to it that attempting to...

I’m going to bring up examples from a variety of mediums, so I couldn’t really fit this just under ~books or ~tv. Sorry about that.

Death Note is the...

This is the thirteenth of an ongoing series of book discussions here on Tildes. We are discussing Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Our next book will be A People's Future of the United States by Victor LaValle, at the end of May.. I don't have a particular format in mind for this discussion, but I will post some prompts and questions as comments to...

Preface: Beware: long, scattered post incoming. I'm not having suicidal thoughts. No matter what happens, life is still worth living. I'm spiraling right now. I'm so confused and lost that I need to just put this out there, somewhere, anywhere. Here goes: I've been happily married for coming up on 8 years next week. Our relationship has always been strong, we've always considered each...
